Time for payment shall be of the essence and full payment (in cleared funds) should be received by the Sale Specific deadline.  For any items of Equipment in respect of which full payment (in cleared funds) has not been received by Hilco within ten (10) days of the closing relevant Auction or the date of the Private Treaty Sale shall be forfeited and the Buyer shall be liable for the administrative and other costs of Hilco for arranging for the resale and/or scrapping of such Equipment and any resulting loss of fees or commission or premium incurred or suffered by Hilco.
